The Best Assisted Living Communities in Knox County, TN

"She has an apartment and it is very nice. It has a living room, bathroom, and a large bedroom. The facility is in a residential area with a neighborhood all around it. "

"My dad has moved into South Knoxville Senior Living. It is assisted living, but they're not as assisted as I would have liked. It's a new place. It's small, but it's nice. Instead of being stacked on top of each other, it's 6 independent units with 13 residents in each unit. They're renovating several of them. There are six altogether, and I think they have four going on right now. Two of the buildings are empty, and they're working on them. The staff members are very nice. They're fine. We're having a little problem with the activities. They need more activities, but the Senior Center for Knoxville is right around the corner, and that has things all day, every day. Each unit has a library and a place to sit and read, and each building has its own kitchen facility. The 13 residents that are in the building can have their meals right there, but they're not all operating yet. Right now, they only have two of the kitchens going. My dad says the food is good, but I don't know personally. It looks fine, though. I walked in for dinner one night, and everybody was happy."

"Northshore Senior Living was very nice and brand new, but very expensive. I toured their memory care unit and that looked like an appropriate setting. The grounds were nice. The location was not as good for me, but somebody else might like it."

"Trinity Hills of Knoxville was OK. Caroline, the girl who took us on the tour, was fantastic, knowledgeable, helpful, and very friendly. She was great. The rooms were a little more basic and plain."

"We found one Autumn Care that is down the street from us that she is very happy with. It’s a very small facility; I think they have about 42 residents or so. It’s very clean new and very reasonable. We have been really pleased with it. They have a regular activity time. They have three meals a day, and they have nurses and physical therapy. "

"My wife is at The Pointe at Lifespring Senior Living for respite care. I chose it because it was just very clean and very neat. She has a pretty standard room. It is roomy and very clean, and the bathroom is very roomy and clean, as well. It is set up for older people. The staff is really good. They are very caring and very professional. I highly recommend this facility based on the staff. They have lots of activities. They've done some painting and they have devotions. They took them out to lunch one day this week. And I think this coming week, they're going to take them to the zoo here in Knoxville."

"Wellington Manor of Knoxville was clean. The only thing that I noticed is that they might have been short of help, but I think many places run into that. The living spaces were great, and the rooms were set up good. They can bring their own furniture. The kitchen looked clean. The staff members were very helpful and very courteous, but it appeared that they were very busy, and sometimes, residents had to wait."

"I moved into The Groves at Oak Ridge. There's a lot of people around my age, and there's some activities. They have a small bus equipped with the handicapped lift, and we go to a museum close by, and then stores like Walmart. The apartments are big enough. They have everything you need. The food is excellent. Breakfast is pretty much the same, but the other meals are very diverse. They're all very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. No problems."

"I enjoyed the tour, and I like the facility a lot. They're great people, and it impressed me the way they were taking care of the residents there. The bedroom was one large room with a lot of closet space and a clean bathroom. The first floor has all the common areas. The second floor was for assisted living residents. The third and fourth floors were for residential living. It's for seniors or couples who don't really need assisted living at the time, but wanted to live in an apartment-type complex. They have different activities on different days of the week. They have bingo, puzzles, and exercises."

"I was very impressed with The Guest House at Alexander Inn. It’s very clean, but it’s a smaller facility. They did have a separate bedroom and a sitting area, but the rooms were small, and also there was no independent-living there, so if my mother was to get a lot better with her physical therapy, there wouldn’t be any area to move up to. The atmosphere was very nice. It was a historic place before, and they restored it so it’s very nice. "

"I have moved into Brookdale Browns Creek. Their reputation is the deciding factor. From the upper management all the way down, everybody seems to work together as a team. The upkeep of the community is very good. My apartment's floorplan is good. The food is very good, too. They have a good-sized activity room, and the dining room is nice. The atmosphere is nice. With regard to activities, I went to a bingo game one day. However, they don't have quite as many activities as I was hoping. The staff has just been wonderful."

"My husband is staying at Meadow View Senior Living right now for respite care. I like the people that work there. They are very friendly, warm and capable. He has an L-shaped apartment studio, and they provide the refrigerator and microwave in a small kitchenette. The bathroom is set up for easy transferring in and out of the shower. The facility is very clean. They have bingo and all those kinds of typical activities."

"The tour at Brookdale Sandy Springs was very good. We sat down with the director and spoke with her first, and she gave us a lot of good information, and then she showed us around the facility. We saw several residents, and there were a lot of activities, which we enjoyed. We met the staff of the dining facility, and we saw the rooms and talked about the various activities that would take place. The smaller rooms were kind of small. We saw a larger room, but the expense is kind of a jump to that. They are certainly adequate, though, and clean. My sister and mother went yesterday, and mother said the food was good and that she really enjoyed the dining room, that it was lively. She enjoyed the experience."
